Last Day to Register to Vote

Make no mistake, this election will be incredibly close and every single vote matters.

You may already be registered to vote, but you probably know several people who are not. And if they’re not registered by today, they can’t vote in this historic election.

Here in Michigan, this election is going to hinge on unprecedented voter turnout.

To check your registration status, visit the Michigan Voter Information Center at www.Michigan.gov/vote. Residents will also be able to find information on voting by absentee ballot, using voting equipment and contacting their local clerk. They can also find a map to their local polling place. Encourage your friends, family, and colleagues to check their voting status yet today.

Remember that registered Michigan voters who have moved within 60 days of the election may still vote at their previous address if they did not register to vote at their new address by the close of registration for this election. This also applies to voters whose homes have been foreclosed upon. Voters in default on their mortgages but living in their homes may still vote without restriction.

If you want to make an even bigger impact, sign up to volunteer. This election is too important to sit on the sidelines, so join other MEA members by volunteering. To do so, go to www.meavotes.org and click on volunteer. Complete the form and submit it and then you will be called upon to volunteer in your local area.
